See the conference advertising, booklets, etc. for the answer.

(Oh all right...

Yes, as usual, if you send to firstname_lastname@conference.usenix.org,
the mail will get printed on the terminal-room printer and posted on the
message board.  This is up and working, or at least it was last night
when I finished testing it.)

It seems I should have added something...

Do NOT, repeat NOT, auto-forward your mail there!  If we see a pile of
messages coming out for you, especially if they're routine garbage like
network status reports, we reserve the right to dump them all in the
bit bucket and/or tell the printer software to do the same with all
future mail to you.

Paper costs money, and our supplies aren't unlimited.

And I'll add that since the messages are getting printed do not expect
them to be private.  They are easily accessible to everyone and the
terminal room staff member has to look at them at least long enough
to get the To: name off.
